Christmas Photo Help

I had a friend who did something really cute last year. They had their kids sit on the couch in the dark with lit Christmas lights tangled around ths kids. It was really cute. Oh and the kids were wearing santa stocking hats.

That's cute.

I'd have them sit holding their stockings with the saying 'Warm Christmas Wishes'

"Waiting for Santa"
"Merry Christmas from Our House to Yours"
"We've Been Good...."
"We Wish You a merry Christmas"

You could have them placing cookies and milk on a table for St. Nick in the p.j.s.

Or what about (partly) tucked in under a Christmas-y fleece throw? (Shoot from above.)

They could be in front of the tree with some "prop" gifts nearby or in hand...

We just did the Christmas p.j. pictures last year with my son (then 3 years) and my daughter (then 15 months). And I will say they turned out adorable. We did several shots at a photo studio. One was hanging ornaments on a tree, one was laying on the floor with their feet kicked up, and one was with my daughter sitting in front of my son on the floor. There was another little girl while we were there than took a picture peaking out of a Christmas package. My suggestion would be to have fun with it. Capture them in their moment. Those are the ones that turn out the best. It captures their personalities. And I would wait to see what the picture looks like (facial expressions and such) to decide on a cute little saying to go on the card.

Because it is sometimes simple to get a good shot of multiple kids in one pic you can also take seperate pictures and then make a collage type picture, You can go to a site like picnik to create a collage.

I would do something by the fireplace with their stockings or under the tree. You could say something like 'we're getting cozy this holiday season, hope you are too!'
